4. What is plagiarism?
According to “Many people think of plagiarism as copying another’s work, or borrowing someone else’s original ideas. But terms like ‘copying’ and ‘borrowing’ can disguise the seriousness of the offense.”
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to “plagiarize” means
“to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own
to use (another’s production) without crediting the source
to commit literary theft
to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.”

6. Examples of plagiarism
turning in someone else's work as your own
copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit
failing to put a quote in quotation marks
giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation
changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit
copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not.

7. What is plagiarism? Our source and format:
We will use Green Eggs and Ham, written by Theodor Seuss Geisel (a.k.a. Dr. Seuss) in 1960, to help us understand plagiarism.
We will use MLA (Modern Language Association) citation style.
For the following examples, imagine that your assignment is to write a paper about perception of unfamiliar food. Green Eggs and Ham is one of your sources. Take a look at each sentence and decide whether or not it is plagiarism.

8. Notetaking, Summarizing, Paraphrasing, and Citing to Avoid Plagiarism
Example #1
Many people do not like green eggs and ham.
Is this plagiarism?
YES! 
The phrase “do not like green eggs and ham” was taken directly from someone else’s work, word for word, and was not cited appropriately.

9. Example #2 Many people “do not like green eggs and ham.”
Is this plagiarism?
YES! 
The phrase “do not like green eggs and ham” is in quotes, showing that it is in fact someone else’s work, but there is no reference listed as a citation.
© 2013 Azman & Fox and used with permission.

10. Example #3 Many people do not like green eggs and ham (Geisel 12).
Is this plagiarism?
YES! 
Though a citation is given, the phrase “do not like green eggs and ham” is still taken word for word from Geisel’s work. The lack of quotation marks implies that these are your words, which they are not.
© 2013 Azman & Fox and used with permission.

11. Example #4 Many people “do not like green eggs and ham” (Geisel 12).
Is this plagiarism?
No! 
The phrase “do not like green eggs and ham” is in quotes, showing that it is someone else’s work, and the correct citation is in place. However, many in- structors would prefer that you paraphrase a quote this short and convey the meaning of the source.
© 2013 Azman & Fox and used with permission.

12. Example #5 Many people dislike green ham and eggs (Geisel 12).
Is this plagiarism?
YES! 
This is not adequate paraphrasing. The sentence structure is still too similar to the original quotation, yet you can’t put this one in quotes because it’s not the exact words of Geisel.
© 2013 Azman & Fox and used with permission.

13. Notetaking, Summarizing, Paraphrasing, and Citing to Avoid Plagiarism
Example #6
Many people have a strong distaste for forest-colored fowl embryos and cured domesticated pig products (Geisel 12).
Is this plagiarism?
YES! 
This is still not adequate paraphrasing. The sentence structure is still too similar to the original quotation, yet again you can’t put this one in quotes because it’s not the exact words of Geisel.

14. Example #7
Lack of familiarity with particular foods is likely to lead to premature rejection based on ignorance rather than an objective appraisal of the inherent taste qualities of that food (Geisel 12).
Is this plagiarism?
No… 
This is an adequate paraphrasing that represents Geisel’s intended message, but it’s not very readable. In fact, this pretty much represents everything people hate about academic writing.
© 2013 Azman & Fox and used with permission.

15. Example #8 Is this plagiarism? No! 
When something is unfamiliar or foreign to people, they tend not to judge it fairly (Geisel 12).
Is this plagiarism?
No! 
Finally, we have an adequate paraphrasing that accurately represents Geisel’s message, is clear, and is easily understood!
